Back then, Boyz II Men had four members. Since 2003, the crew has only been three: Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman. So what happened to Michael McCary, the fourth member?
“Mike was kind of always the odd guy in a sense,” Stockman told host Marc Lamont Hill. “Obviously he was a freak of nature vocally. There’s nobody that we’ve encountered outside of Melvin [Franklin] from The Temptations that actually spoke the way that he sang. Like, he was a true bass. You got guys that act like basses and sing like basses but aren’t basses.”
The group, which stopped by HuffPost Live on Wednesday to talk about their new album, “Collide,” said that McCary enjoyed the ride, but not as much as the other three. Nathan Morris, or Nate, said McCary didn’t like rehearsals or any of the nitty gritty stuff that comes along with being a top music act.
“It seems like he kind of gave up when things didn’t go well,” Nate said.
